Product Insights
Light soy sauce is a condiment classified in the Dressings and sauces group, offering a very low fat content but a very high salt level. It receives a Nutri-Score of E and is placed in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category, reflecting the presence of several additives such as caramel (E150a), potassium sorbate (E202), citric and lactic acids (E330, E270), and flavour enhancers (E631, E627). While it provides a modest amount of protein and virtually no saturated fat, the excessive salt and modest sugar content, together with gluten and soy allergens, limit its suitability for health‑focused diets.
